I’m still in love with Peaceful Warrior Movie (from Way of the Peaceful Warrior Book)

Filed Under Amazon, eBay, Other eShop', Celebrity, TV shows & Movie, Personal | Leave a Comment

Yes, I do know how this title can be so adoring, in human sense of reading it. There’s no other way to express how I’m totally in love as it is one of the greatest things that I witness and encounter in my life so far. My intention downloading(ed) this movie (in April 2007 Post ; Movie Review: Post) just to watch Scott Mechlowicz on screen as he his one of my ultimate fav. actor; “Although his not that really American favorites and had not done many movies yet; however he is still can recognize for acting in EuroTrip” having said that I’m still a fan!.

Starting of by believing and pathetically pretending will or would enjoy watching the movie as the same thing happen if you are watching any of your favorite actors/actress act like Hilary Duff or The Olsen twin or Lindsay Lohan or even Amanda Bynes! or any comedian actress on screen just enthusiastically to support them spiritually; but this movie is exceptional. Along the way, magic had occur beyond my expectation. As the movie plays, I accidentally fall in love towards the story definition. It drove me for the 1st time to be in love with a movie within their dialogue scripts, not only understanding the story line but it give me a ‘passion’ wanting to remember and cherish and memorize what they have already said on screen. Listening to the unrecognized and alienated wisdom said within their dialogue brings me positive inspiration towards living. As a result it brought me to the world of philosophy, which is the love of wisdom.

And Yes, because of this movie I have continue to cherish Philosophy as It also helps  me to choose my website  tittle: “The Philosophy of Zenith Empire”.

Back to the story, I’m so grateful right now, that, I finally have the original DVD of The Peaceful Warrior Movie (region 1) on hand, order it straight from USA (something that I want as my ultimate collection since it has been released on 26th June 2007). Random: I  want it badly just to watch the deleted scene and the extended scene which falls under it bonus features, which I’ve been omitted since I first watch the movie.

Here’s the story of my journey getting it:

  • On the 10th June 2008 (Brunei), I put an online order at BigMediaRock, as online store who I get to know from their branch store at eBay.
  • 11th June 2008 (US), the DVD had been move from the warehouse to the shipping distributor.
  • on 12th June 2008 (US), It departure from Coral Springs Florida, USA.
  • 19 days later, 1 July 2008 (Brunei) it has arrived.

Here’s is the photos of the received DVD:

Optional: Return Procedure if your item is not satisfying or has been defected.

Back cover of the Peaceful Warrior DVD

The Side Top Sticker of the DVD as proof item inside have not been tempered with or opened.

The Inside!

Playing this DVD had really put some sacrifice on my laptop setting. As we all know, who ever invented the DVD hardware setting who limits the change of the region setting for 4 times is so unbelievable. My Disk drive setting automatically set its region code to Region 1 after playing the DVD I’m not sure what will happen next if I burn a new DVD image, would it be coded with region 1? If yes, I would not able to share my DVD with my friends?

Playing the DVD is not so easy too. I first tried playing it with VLC Media Player, but it turn out not to be in good shape. So I took a chance to download Cyberlink DVD player and hopefully it will work fine. Grateful the DVD play wonderfully using Cyberlink Media Player. Cyberlink is the best software to play your DVD!

Watching the bonus features is really a bonus features! What I’m trying to say here is that the bonus features is worth it. The deleted scenes was pretty much awesome too, how I wish it as well been put into the final cut.

Currently, I’m thinking about to buy the (way of the peaceful warrior) book by Dan Millman; I’m sure I’ll get the 2006 edition, but I’m also trying to make decision to buy or not the old edition (1984 and 2000 edi) because I don’t want to miss any points in the past book. As for the 2000 ediiton, its the book that the creator of the movie use to set the Peaceful Warrior Movie.

Dan Millman; The Author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior

Oh well, will see in the future how things will go..

2008: Worst Finale ever | Flight Canceled | New Things | Summary of June eBay Items

Filed Under Amazon, eBay, Other eShop', Personal | Leave a Comment

Was about to fly to Newcastle, UK this month. Unfortunately or more towards to fortunate (i know I’m speaking of contradiction here) that I didn’t get a good finale to reach Newcastle in the end. It was a last minute plan, Dad wanted to sent me off to UK just to witness my brother graduation day. So there’s this period, last week, a day, that I had to travel across town to get a ticket to fly me to UK. If I were to be in an Amazing Race show, I’m sure I’ll be the worst to get the tickets to fly off the country.

First I visited the Freme Travel Agency in Bandar, I got the KL airline; then Anthony Tour at Jalan 1KM, where I got a Thai Airline. Then I zoom to Royal Brunei International airport just to ask them whether there’s still availble RBA airline for me to go at this conditional day travel; Unfortunately non. Last travel Agency I visited that day is Century Travel at Huo Ho Mall Mangis.

Trivia of all the travel agent I’ve visited.
Freme Travel Agency: While trying to go down using the lift, I accidentally got squash by the lift door, and that’s funny and hurts (the next day) haha. They are damn friendly! Agency.
Anthony Tour: Somebody did something, and it bang loud that i got freaky shocked. They are damn friendly! Agency.
RBA office: There’s this Chinese little daughter very cute and naughty.. The Officer working (a women) is FRIENDLY and NICE!
Century Travel: Hmm.. sad got untalented agency representative. But I’m sure the rest agency is superb. I think that person is new, he give up on my flight search; while the person just stated its very costly without mentioning the $$. Just my Luck i guess. But I’ll visit next time for another luck!

The cancellation was due to my brother disapproval for me to waste money there as to pay thousand of dollars to UK and spend more on my necessary fund if i were to be there. So he badly need me to cancel my flight to save some money to spend something that is not worth and fast. After all we are not as rich as some fortunate people on this planet.

It’s still a sad issue, one part of me really wanted to go to UK, as I never been in UK for almost 12 years of being there for 3+ years being a temporary immigrant. Fate? Seriously bout fate, we can’t question it but I don’t like them for being so negative. ;)

This is my 3rd eBay item, which is the Nike+ iPod Case. Arrived on the 24 June.

Standard Optics Co. (located at the Mall, Gadong) is a very friendly shop, to get your own new spectacles. Couldn’t believed I was treated with a welcoming customer service by a women name Anna. I recommend you guys to get and grab your new pair of spectacles or sunglasses there. Right now, I’m just patiently waiting for my Spectacles claim from my University. Get the money and spend it on eBay again.

My sister was lucky enough to get a new present from her Bf for random-occasion, which is the brand new Nokia 7310 Supernova. Well actually see choose it becasue of the lovely pink 3d color skin cover. It’s considered cheap, as she bought it about 290+ at Incomm, gadong.

Yesterday, I received the MoneyBookers.com letter to verified my address. Sent from UK on the 17 June and arrived on 30 June. Moneybookers is something like PayPal. Both are great online money transaction.

This is my last eBay item of the month June, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Retail price in Brunei is BN$31+. A rare book that is really hard to find in Brunei. Published on the year 2006, but just last few months i got to witness it on Best eastern at the mall for sale. But there were very limited four copies left i guess. Didn’t bought it because of my unwillingness to pay such amount that time. I bought this book new @ eBay. cost me about 27+ Brunei Dollars. I save about 4 Brunei dollars. Sweet~

So here’s my official eBay for the month June:

a) N73 Button Cap replacement;
b) iPod iTouch Headset;
c) Nike+ iPod Nano Case;
d) The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.

Non-eBay Item:
e) The Peaceful Warrior DVD (Zone 1) Still waiting to received. DOA is this Month. from BigRockMedia.com .

Next month, thinking to buy a Cooking book by Sam Stern, or Bayern Munich or a Shoe pouch for my iPod Nike sensor or just eat sushi a lot as i want!.

PS: Something I miss right now is the La and Kar with Bf’s Tas, frens of mine @ UBD. I didn’t miss them last few months because of my  business depressing and being sad of dellema hit., haha sorry for being honest . While the rest of my frens haha how can I miss them, as they are always easily spotted! but then again, Love is always there to all my fellow comrads.

Sorrow meets pain; life. eBay. My degrading health. The Modem.

Haha, Just did this after Maghrib, My eldest sister ask me to print her  massive notes which is more than 20 adobe files which contain pages range from 4 to 51 :S. Took me about 2hrs +  heated gain ass to print them all. As to repay back my good deeds, I have made a special wallpaper for her laptop to remind her when she someday become rich like Richy rich I want her to get me unlimited stock of Sushi (boi at this age I’m addicted to Sushi! used to feel aliened on them) and two Persian kitten (love cats with long hair) from Australia. She still haven’t check her laptop tho, after her out-ing with her boyfriend as usual. Tomorrow should be a surprise to her!

before this happen, below is the early story today..

I wake up pretty late today, somewhere @ 1-2pm. Not feeling well as usual, I got this extravaganza throat problem, well, technically since I lift my foot to Uni life. The thing is that, I never care about it, until this few days it irritated my health very aggressively.

@ two pm during my persona lunch hour, my 2nd sister told me in surprise, while I was just about to open my mouth to enter my food, telling me two collection cards from MPC arrived this early morning. I was kinda happy for it, as to be confident that, it would be my Original iPod (touch model) earphones and my Nike+ iPod Pouch to be arrived (according to data given by eBay seller). So we rush to MPC (Mail Processing Center,) Old Airport to collect my goods @ three pm.

To my surprise, the 1st package was the Ubuntu DVDs, that I requested 25th last month and the other one is my iPod earphone replacement. And no, the Nike+ iPod Pouch haven’t yet arrived.

The Package and the its inside, 2DVDs and the sticker. (From TNT-Netherlands), same as the old one here: my old Ubuntu DVD post. Gonna install it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The Package from Hong Kong containing the iPod Earphone.

The box.

What’s inside it? (manual and the earphone).

My old Earphone from my iPod Nano (1st Gen).

As planned earlier, after getting my items, we also took the chance to grab the new “Telephone Directory Brunei Darussalam 2008″. Took two; one for my room and one for my family to use.

Oh boy, going to visit ENT, RIPAS next month :S this throat is serious, a lump? itchy? By the way they’ keep on saying and writing this down ‘SORE THROAT‘ on my sick paper health note. And I keep saying its not sore throat, its just itchy.. I.T.C.H.Y. Oh well, hopefully this screening test during ENT session would be great. Remind me to say this during the future session:

“I have a bad Itchy throat, since ages ago; cough occasionally, because of irritation; can I get larynxscope please; blood test and a chest X-ray for chest infection or anything related with my abnormality of my discomfort phenomena. This will be fun, as I love watching HouseMD, I mean Dr. House Show, do you watch it too?”


Since, holiday can be so jobless, cleaning my ADSL eSpeed modem is an option. But disappointingly, the present of dusk was so limited :[ wanted to expect more, because its been almost 2 years this modem with me :(

OK thats all, for an update, pray for my health and my mum health.
Got 2 more item from USA eBay seller, The secret book, from Alaska and Nike+ iPod Pouch from New York
and 1 DVD, Peaceful Warrior from US too.

1st eBay Item to arrived; picked up on 11 June @ Mail Processing Center, Old Airport Roadfor buying 10x N73 Button Caps; Got 3 free gifts from seller 3x N73 Screen guard, Ix LCD Screen cleaner and 1x Flannelette’s Bag

Before and After

SupaSave® my favorite Grocery shop in town. Every month It is a must to go there. I even got a Baiduri SupaSave Debit card to go with. Buying this bag is just to support SupaSave and not honestly to do with the earth day concern =P The bag is totally suitable for me as I usually bought not that much of goods, and this bag totally fits all the items.

SupaSave® also mean, “lets cook!” This is one of my specialties, Just basic here, unless I’m too excited to create something extravaganzas Pizza. {Pizza Pan + Mozzarella + Tuna + Tomato+Chili Paste, and mayonnaise for the tuna dressing}

I went to Misato Restaurant with them, @ Kiulap for the 1st time. Usually getting sushi is always at The Mall’s food court. The food is great, but its superb expensive. And thats my sister with her twinkle little star men.

“I’m still waiting for 3 eBay Items (Original Apple iPod Headset for iTouch (Hong Kong), Original Nike+ Ipod Case (Florida New York, USA) and The Secret book by Rhonda Byrne (Anchorage, Alaska, USA); 1 original Peaceful Warrior DVD (from Universal studio) directly bought at BigRockMedia.com (USA) [coz its cheaper then buying on their eBay listing store, yeah i know I'm smart =p] and lastly 2 free operating system DVDs from Ubuntu.

All have been shipped except for the book :S He emailed me ( 12 June~1PM Alaska time/13 June ~4am Brunei time) for my address confirmation, he got ‘thinking’ for the differences given addresses between my eBay postal address with my PayPal registered address. I did email him back (12 June~5pm Alaska Time/13 June~8am Brunei time) for the confirmation address.

Probably he will send it on Monday Morning Alaska Time (GMT -7), just like the Nike+ iPod case that have been delivered the early next week coz there was no open shipping distributor on weekend in USA.”

I’m back with eBay! and I’m addicted.

Filed Under Amazon, eBay, Other eShop', Personal | Leave a Comment

I’m officially 247 with eBay again, its fun seriously, but getting unhealthier. I manage to sleep at four in the morning just to browse and made payment to my bidding hehe.

My eBay account summary

I have won 3 items (N73 Button Cap, Apple Ipod Nano Earpiece and Nike+ Ipod Case), and I have paid for them all using PayPal. It will be worth when I get a hand on them. All of them have been shipped =) Hopefully I’ll get it soon. Two items are from Hong Kong, and one from New York, USA. I’m still fighting for two items now (Sony 4GB Memory Stick and The Secret (Book) by Rhonda Byrne.

Thank You Window Vista for this Tools

To win an auction item, its not a very easy, perhaps its very competitive ‘game’ against all the world bidders. So I do have my own strategies to keep up with it. Window Vista’s currency exchange is very useful, as it help to convert Brunei currency to another currency. I’m using Singapore currency tho, there’s no Brunei currency listed. I can have a maximum of 4 currency exchange, I wish there was more. So I choose British Pound, US Dollar, Australian Dollar and Singapore Dollar. The reasons is because I easily shift my self from one eBay website to another eBay sites, which are eBay.com (US), eBay.co.uk (United Kingdom), Ebay.com.au. I also have eBay official time to get me notifies of the current time left for the auctions.

I still need an old calculation and notes method for eBay

Honestly, I still use this paper pen calculation for currency and notes on eBay matters. I take notes on when I won, when I made payment, when the seller received my payment, when the seller ship my item and when to expect the items arrival date, this is all important!

Oyeah did you know, even at 4am dawn I log into my Baiduri Internet Banking, just to add on my financial into my credit card! crazy.. Thank you Baiduri Bank, and Thank You PayPal! Just notice that, transferring $$ to your Mastercard Credit Card won’t work at 10pm to 3am. Becasue I’ve tried between 10pm-1am it never worked. I will try the time between 1am-3am next time. But from 3 o’clock it works like magic. Its all about Banking facilities, all I want is to have adequate fund on my Credit Card for PayPal charge =).

Was registered site at eBay.co.uk but now I’m officially registered at eBay.com

Guess what, I send an email to eBay just to switch off my official registration site from eBay.co.uk to eBay.com. I registered eBay on March 27, 2006 at UK eBay site, but do to convenient on using United States eBay because of the nature of US dollar currency, I had asked them to switch me. And guess what, it was possible! I was just being ‘probability’ on asking if there was such solution. Well, eBay have easily answer me they could do the changes of transferring my registration from eBay.co.uk to eBay.com with one condition to change my registration address to US. and it was done and it was successful. I used a Hotel in Miami, Florida USA for my temporary registration address. For my USA Phone number for registration, gosh don’t ask! (It’s a fraud and It’s a secret haha).

UCLA Letterman Jacket

I always wanted to get an UCLA official item and accessories. And I always wanted to get an Letterman Jacket, its a jacket that is wore by USA College guys. Nice right! Unfortunately it is very costly range about 150$US to 250$US :S I tried to get it if in the future I do get income, as salary that is. Seriously I really want an Letterman Jacket.

Here’s my personal guides to successful eBay-ing.
But I don’t guarantee you, all I can is Good Luck and be safe buying online:
